Antique Jewelry Canada
Q.My sister and I have a small, home based business making one-of-a-kind jewelry from old and new buttons. We make brooches, earrings, hair clips, and some home decorator items from our buttons. We like the idea of using things that are like little pieces of art for display and adornment. Our business is called "Button Sisters" and we live on the Central Coast in California. I am looking for a good source for good, sturdy findings and rhinestone and/or unusual additions to our pieces. Any advice
A.Have you tried Creative Beginings (475 Morro Bay, Morro Bay, CA 93442)? They have a great selection of different charms. I'm a jeweler too, up in Victoria, BC, Canada. I also use buttons and found articles. I have found the glues "E 600" or "Goop" to be the best so far. What do you use?
